One thing I didn't make clear above is that I'd like to check out the 
components to a directory within the directory tree of the web project.  So, if 
the project is checked out to /home/me/mysite, a separate project would be 
checked out in /home/me/mysite/components.  Will CVS have a problem with this 
setup?  In some basic testing it seems to work fine, but I may be missing 
something.
